About

I am licensed clinical psychologist in California who provides thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy to adults and young professionals. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and completed advanced training at UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services and have primarily worked university-based counseling centers for most of my career.

​

I specialize in partnering with people who are ready to bring more clarity, balance, and depth into their lives. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, spiritual questions, or relationship dynamics, I’ll help you develop self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful connection. We will seek to understand how your unique past contributes to who you are in the present. My goal is to help clients identify goals that will help them increase their self-understanding, emotion regulation, and relational satisfaction. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy, while also integrating evidence-based practices such as third-wave behavioral therapies. I also have training in spiritual integration, thoughtfully incorporating clients’ spiritual or religious beliefs into therapy when desired.

​

In addition to clinical work, I have enjoyed teaching graduate-level psychology courses and supervising doctoral students, contributing to the training and development of emerging clinicians. 

​

My hope is that our work together will be a collaborative, compassionate space where you can explore patterns, build insight, and develop resilience.
